362 Abbygales Prowess, The Start of the University Hun (1/2)
Day 58 - 6:11 PM - University of Perpetual Help System Dalta - Las Piñas Campus, Alabang-Zapote Road, Barangay Almanza Uno, Las Piñas, Metro Manila
In the director's office, Edward stood with the window overlooking the field in front of him. Beside him was Phillip who was quite unnerved about the things that would likely happen tonight.
”What do you think will happen, Edward?”
The old medical instructor asked.
Anything bad could happen at any time even before the outbreak started. It was just after the outbreak, the possibility of it happening rose more than a hundredfold.
Everyone that knew about this fact would surely feel unnerved while living in this kind of world.
And knowing that there were about a hundred people outside that would potentially ruin everything of what they had left including their lives would surely not help.
The worst thing was that they did not have the ability to choose. Both staying and escaping would give almost the same chances of dying. That was unless they would throw away what was left of their virtues and humanity to sacrifice others so that some of them could live.
It was something that Phillip would never able to stomach.
”I don't know Phillip.” Edward sighed. ”We can only wait. I don't know why but I feel that something unexpected will happen tonight. I'm probably gambling with our lives right now but we might just win this one.”
”Then, it will be the most important wait in our lives.”
”Yes, I can't agree more.”
Hearing that, the old man sat on the sofa.
”Is it really fine to let Lynn go with them?”
”I think that it's fine. You already heard her boasting being a close friend of Miss Karlene before. Besides, Terrence accompanied her although I doubt that the two, no, even all of us will be able to do anything if they had bad intentions.”
”Is that the feeling you got from them?”
”No, not from the other two, just from that person called Mark.”

Day 58 - 6:13 PM - Medicine Faculty, University of Perpetual Help System Dalta - Las Piñas Campus, Alabang-Zapote Road, Barangay Almanza Uno, Las Piñas, Metro Manila
Analynn and Terrence followed behind Mark's group and reached the Medicine Faculty without problems. Some infected tried to attack after they went down from the roof of the walkway but for some strange reason, the two found the infected rather too slow compared from before. Because of that, the two could only follow Mark and his group that ignored the infected and run forwards.
They also saw the vehicle parked in front of the vehicle and could not help but feel amazed. They never saw anything like it. Nevertheless, it was not the time to admire it since there were infected wandering around them.
Going up the second floor of the faculty, the two of them heard a sweet voice as they saw a girl approach Mark. And of course, the two froze. Terrence froze because of the surprise of seeing Mei's appearance. Analynn was good looking and Karlene was also beautiful. However, the two could not be compared to the one in front of them right now.
On the other hand, Analynn had a different reason for her surprise. It was because she recognized the girl in front of them. Her family might not be too rich but they also belonged in the higher society. Because of that, she was familiar with people who were the best to have connections with.
”Gege, how is it?”
She asked Mark without even glancing at the strangers together with him. However, it seemed that she felt the gaze Terrence was giving her. Because of that, she jumped into Mark's embrace stating that she belonged to someone else.
It did not take long before Terrence lost sight of her. It was because Mark's back blocked his view. He then felt cold and turned to his side just to see both Karlene and Analynn giving him cold stares.
”Let's talk inside. Don't mind these two here. They are Karlene's guests.”
”Okay.”

The night deepened as they talked about their next steps. They also ate dinner like there was nothing wrong which made their two guests perturbed. Nevertheless, eating nothing but dry noodles and crushed crackers these past days made the two throw away their confusion and ate the first real dinner they never had for a long while.
Finally, Mark stood up.
”Odel, Spera, and Edzel, go inside the car and operate the things there as I showed you before. Karlene, stay here with your guests. Mei'er, prepare to back me up from the window. Miracle, Iola protect everyone here.”
He then looked at Abbygale.
”We haven't fully tested your new power yet, right? This will be a good opportunity.”
Without asking questions, everyone moved to leave another thing that made Karlene's guests confused.
”Karlene, what is happening?”
”Oh, the enemies outside is probably making their moves already.”
”Huh?!” Analynn's eyes turned wide. ”What are they going to do? He said that there are about a hundred enemies right? Are they just going to confront them upfront?”
To her friend's worries, Karlene smiled bitterly.
”You don't have to worry and just watch. Well, it's quite dark outside already so you might not see anything. It might sound ridiculous but this is already overkilling the enemies. Just Mark alone is more than enough to deal with those people.”
Analynn could only nod trusting her friend's words while Terrence silently peeked outside the window wanting to see how they would deal with this.

The preparations started.
Mei took out her sniper rifle and aimed through the window while Iola created a barrier that would protect everyone in this room.
Odelina, Edzel, and Spera ran into the vehicle which made the two sylphs inside rather happy that they did not have to hide any longer inside. With a few maneuvers, the vehicle faced the exit as if ready to rush out at any moment. At the same time, Edzel stood in the sniper dome and mounted two assault rifles in the gun slots while Spera was already to activate the weapons around the vehicle when needed.
